“Whenever I hear about buying likes, clicks, links, etc., this funny video from Adobe comes to mind. In general, I think it is quite unnecessary. With real Facebook likes, you can use information to get a real insight into who your followers are and what content they prefer. You can decide which types of content have the best reach and engagement, and then use that information to deliver more of what your audience wants to see in their feeds. Think. You see a page with a few thousand likes. So far so good. For the traditional advertising side, we targeted 20 different countries with different economic and cultural objectives and included interest-based targeting from early October to the first week of November. For the other two pages, we bought 500 Facebook likes from each business. We were told that these like would come from all over the world. If your target audience is localized. Surely you can only pay for ads that target your real users and not fake ones by refining your audience so that the countries where your fake likes come from are not included? We`ve all been there. Your boss breathes on your neck to improve the business page with more likes.
“Our competitor has thousands of likes!” they say, and you know they want quick results. Of course, everyone is free to buy likes if they think it fits their strategy and it can make sense. as long as their strategy 🙂 is to brag about the number of likes instead of generating traffic and sales from Facebook (which is very difficult these days anyway due to the low organic reach). Have you ever heard of bots working on your Facebook profile? These will help you find your target audience and invite them to like your page, which can significantly increase your engagement since a large portion of guest subscribers actually like your page. I would definitely do more research and you could find 2-3 matching products, but be careful: they could be expensive. In the spring, Facebook filed a lawsuit against 4 companies based in the People`s Republic of China for selling fake accounts, likes and followers on Facebook, Instagram and other platforms. Wow, talk about amazing data to prove something the best marketers have been saying for a while! It`s just not worth paying for likes. Previously, he had already bought 20,000 likes for a page that only had 500 organic likes. It was a bloodbath. All our contributions there now have no commitment, at best. In the worst case, they get a lot of spam comments from people he bought to promote things in other (probably Indian) languages. Thanks for the article! Why and for what purposes this is necessary, everyone decides for himself! I think in a small number of likes required for beginners.
Just a quick question here: I just bought likes from some services, can I ask Facebook to remove all those likes from my fan page? Facebook defines fake likes as “external services that sell packages with likes from fake accounts or people with no real intent by offering a certain number of likes for a lump sum.” But what if you don`t have likes? I started with 0 likes on Twitter and Facebook. I post interesting content about technology, gadgets, reviews, and more about when to reach the highest audience, but I get a maximum of 1 like per week on Twitter and maybe one per month on Facebook. Then I decided to buy 2k followers on Twitter, after doing that and having 2k+followers, then when I posted something, I got a favorite, retweet per post and about 1/2 followers per day. Then I promoted a video on Facebook with about 30 followers (my friends and family) and paid $40 for advertising to get 100 likes (legitimate Facebook ads) and NONE of the people who liked my page comment or like any of my posts. Now buying likes for my page costs $29 for 250 likes, if I`m more credible as a good site by having 350 likes instead of 30, organic people will be more interested in liking my page when they see my addition because it`s a page with already a few likes. That way, it makes sense. There are no laws that say you can`t buy likes for your Facebook page. However, as you`ll learn in this article, Facebook`s policies state that this is a practice you shouldn`t engage in. Facebook continues to step up its legal action against companies that abuse its systems, this time launching two new lawsuits against peddlers of fake likes and engagement on social platforms. It`s not just a good profile or relevant content that can increase your likes. I am glad you are commenting and raising this point.
Most people go ahead and buy likes (or not) without offering a unique situation like the one you suggest. When building an audience, there are a number of different strategies you can use to gain a page, likes, and legitimate followers. And besides, Facebook is finally getting really angry about this and many page admins get notifications that their pages are full of fake likes and that Facebook will remove them. They also recently published a page about it: www.facebook.com/business/a/page/fake-likes so likely that you will enjoy 1,000,000 fake likes for a few weeks, and then come back to 10. But buying Facebook likes is an outdated and ineffective strategy for creating social proof. Today, you`ve learned why buying Facebook likes is a really bad idea and what you can do instead to grow your page for a thriving community of engaged fans. Maria, do you have any numbers to back up your claims? 🙂 I think we`ve done a pretty good job of showing with real numbers why you shouldn`t buy Facebook likes. What you are talking about is social proof. Yes, a user is more likely to like a page with 10,000 likes than a page with 5 likes.
The problem is, if those 10,000 likes are all fake, you`ve already ruined your page and engagement, so Facebook considers your page inferior and you can`t even get the real likes because the total engagement is close to 0. When we reviewed these pages in March 2016, we found that Facebook had removed many of the likes we had purchased. Virtually no harm is done when someone buys fans and likes. However, this is morally questionable. Without them, it`s impossible to know if your efforts are paying off or not.
